    Language Assistance

    When receiving health care, you have a right to language services at no cost to you*.

    Mayo Clinic Health System Franciscan Healthcare offers confidential language services twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. We employ qualified interpreters for Spanish, Hmong, and American Sign Language needs in an effort to provide in-person interpretation as often as possible. We also partner with a number of local and national companies to provide over-the-phone or video relay interpreted language services when an in-person interpreter is not available to meet the language needs of our patients.

    Mayo Clinic Health System Franciscan Healthcare is committed to providing qualified, competent interpreters for your health care needs.

    Please notify registration at the time you schedule with your provider if you would like an interpreter for your appointment.
